His research centers on Baroque opera with particular emphasis on Metastasio's libretti, vocal aesthetics, and classical reception studies. He investigates intersections between musicology and literary analysis, gender dynamics in musicality, and creative expression through poetry. This multidisciplinary approach bridges historical performance practice with contemporary theoretical frameworks.

Publication trends reveal consistent scholarly engagement with Metastasio's works and baroque opera conventions, evolving toward gender studies and creative writing. His output demonstrates methodological diversity across musicological analysis, historical manuscript studies, and poetic composition, reflecting both academic rigor and artistic practice.
